Belkins usual Default Gateway is 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 If you Start-->Run--> type cmd and press enter type ipconfig /all and press enter this should give you all the info. If you can transfer files without a problem it could be a DNS issue so if you are providing a static IP for the USB adapter make sure you input BT's DNS Servers IP severs into the appropriate boxes.
Looking at your previous post you had Internet access for about 30 mins.Have you run any Anti-virus or Anti-Spyware programs since just to make sure you haven't picked up something unpleasant, not unknown for some bugs to prevent access to common sites.
What happens if you ping 209.123.109.175
Start-->Run--> type cmd and press enter type ping 209.123.109.175
Did you leave a space between ping and 209?
Rob,no i didn't but i have now, and got the following message:- Reply from 209.123.109.175: bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=46 Reply from 209.123.109.175: bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=46 Reply from 209.123.109.175: bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=46 Request timed out

so I will go along with Frank and think you have a DNS problem although I didn't like the timeout.
Try Start>Run> cmd ipconfig /flushdns
Rob, Did what you said and got the following message:- Windows IP Configuration successfully flushed the DNS resolver Cache

Are you running a firewall on this machine? If so try disabling it and then see if you can access the Internet.
What sites are you trying to access?
Humour me and try these http://209.123.109.175http://72.32.46.59

Well I'm going to have to think about this.I am not sure why you can ping 209.123.109.175 but your browser can't display the page. What browser are you using and have you changed any settings from the default?

What happens if you hardwire the laptop to the Modem or Router?
Rob
Hardwired new computer and it still didn't work. I assume the router or adaptor isn't set up correctly? Steve
